Samantha Sanders (b. 1994) is a Philadelphia-based painter, originally from Harrisburg, PA. Sander's work explores grief, environmental fragility, and her rural Pennsylvania upbringing, through the use of plant-based inks that she forages for and creates, which she incorporates into paintings on paper with all-natural watercolor, gouache and collage. She transforms images of flora and fauna into fragmented, dream-like narratives of preservation, reflection and timelessness. In 2018, Sanders earned her MFA in Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, PA. Since then, she has participated in numerous group shows, at Ejecta Projects (PA), Field Projects Gallery (NY), Collar Works (NY) and Eckert Art Gallery (PA).
